"Yankee Doodle went to town / a-riding on a pony / stuck a feather in his hat / and called it macaroni." Many know the song "Yankee Doodle Dandy," but few understand it. This unapologetically silly picture book reveals the legendary ride to town-and the whole macaroni thing-was actually the work of Mr. Doodle's overeager pony. Mr. Doodle doesn't want any pasta or even a trip into town. No wonder he's so cranky!
